A CRAZY game idea!

I'd call it "the real-life assassin game." It's based on someting I read in DmWiki.

Okay, so you've got a small handheld device, which connects via USB to a computer and has a single button on it. Every day, you plug it into your computer. It allows you to select a location which may be as broad as Chicago or as specific as your office building. Then it feeds your little device the ID number of someone else's little device.

When you get within, say, 50 meters of them, it starts to beep softly/slowly. Then, as you get closer, it gets louder/faster. When you get within 10 feet of them and press the button, they get "killed" and lose a point in the online rankings.

The catch is...they'll be doing the same thing for you. There will be a different, less noticeable beep to alert you of *your* assassin, and if you press your button before they get within, say, 15 feet of you, they're the one who gets "killed." So there are advantages to being both.

There it is, take it or leave it. Just a random thought I had today. I have no plans to execute it, because it would require actual building, plus a bunch of people.

I think there was a Pac Man game like that in Japan. It had a headset, and some kind of sensor device (echolocation maybe?) The headset, which looked like a set of Splinter Cell goggles, had a screen in it, which added the dots and ghosts to the landscape around you. Not sure how well it sold

Freedom is the ability to say one plus one equals two. When that occurs, all else follows.

Woah!! A prototype of visual augmentation. A futreologist at a nanotechnogy conference I went to was talking about things like that. He mentioned that there will be too much information in the futre for us to take in, so we need to sheild ourselfs from it. I disagreed.
